First off, lyrics as good as these can be interpreted different ways, so I respect everyone's viewpoint, but I do have an opinion as to what the song is about. To me it's about being from a poor community, being a bit cynical about things ever getting better and the consequences that could occur when changes take place. Knowing that things could be better but also realizing that things will never be the same after they are. Gentrification is when rich people displace poor people and things seemingly improve, but the people who couldn't afford to live where they previously had are simply driven out. This song to me is about moving on, keeping a positive attitude, and staying true to your roots. That's just what I think. Latterman rocks!
